Hi there!

I have a question regarding new foliage growth for plants rooted in water.

I have successfully rooted cuttings from my pothos and philodendron in water. My question is: when will new foliage begin to grow?

I began questioning my set up when I noticed a brown leaf that grew from the philodendron cutting. It was brown because it was submerged in water. I took off the brown part and slightly lifted that piece out of the water. Now a fresh new leaf is growing there.

When I first began this propagation process I made sure ALL nodes were submerged in water and only the top leaf of each stem was out of the jar.

Should I have left a few nodes above water to allow for new leaf growth? Most of the nodes have turned into roots at this point. So now I'm wondering when/where new growth is going to come from... These cuttings have been in water for over a month now.

I hope my question makes sense. Please let me know if it does not! :p Thank you for your feedback!

Here is the pothos:

And here is the philodendron. The second picture clearly shows the new leaf growth I mentioned (far right).
